Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts or its affiliations. I do not own the song Airplanes. I merely found inspiration in the chorus.
"Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars?"
The only twinkling in the sky that night was the distant shine of a Boeing 757.
Axel slid his hand down the window and turned away, returning to the safety of his bedcovers in his lonely one-room apartment.
I wish, he thought as he turned over, restless, I wish for friendship. For friends… who would be my family.
He sighed and closed his eyes.

"I could really use a wish right now…"
Xion spent her days with her eyes on the ground. She avoided conflict. Avoided people. Life was better that way. Yet… she wasn't really happy.
One night, watching the starless sky in the big city, in quiet solitude on her family's balcony, whe realized something. She put a name to a feeling she had never acknowledged before.
Loneliness.
Then, a manmade twinkle shot across the sky, and Xion wished for one thing with all her heart: a friend to keep her company.

"Like shooting stars…"
Roxas was a mystery behind his dark sunglasses. If you asked those who know him, none could tell you his eye color. That was really too bad, because the boy's eyes were blindingly, brilliantly blue.
But, Roxas learned from an early age that attention was bad. So he kept his eyes behind his dark shades and heart behind ice and he floated through life, aloof and mysterious.
Night fell and he layed on the grass in the suburbs outside the city, looking up at the sky and wishing there were stars he could talk to. A streak of light materialized above him, and he was glad he wasn't wearing his sunglasses.
I wish… he thought, following the star's path with his eyes, I wish I had friends who knew me… I wish I could... toss out these sunglasses… I wish…
"***"
I wish to be free.
